    About Strawberry Overnight Oats

    This Healthy Strawberry Overnight Oats Recipe is a 5-minute no-cook breakfast or snack recipe that can be made ahead of time.

    The ingredients are added to a bowl, mixed, and refrigerated to make this dump-and-go overnight strawberry vanilla oats recipe.

    It is an excellent meal-prep recipe too. You can make a big batch for the entire week and transfer it in mason jars. Top with your favorite topping and refrigerate overnight. Now all you have to do is to grab one mason jar, and your fiber, protein-rich healthy breakfast or a quick snack is ready the following day.

    This recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. You can easily make it vegan too.

    Ingredients

    Strawberry overnight oats ingredients.

    The best part about this oats recipe is that you do not need any fancy ingredients. It is made using simple ingredients which are mostly available in the pantry.

    Oats – Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) are the best to make overnight oatmeal. They soak up the liquid without getting mushy.

    You can use instant oats, too but do not soak them for too long; they get mushy.

    DO NOT use steel-cut oats in this recipe. They need to be cooked before you eat them.

    Yogurt and Milk – Yogurt and milk form a creamy base for these overnight oats. Feel free to use the milk and yogurt of your choice. Whole milk, skim milk, or non-dairy milk like coconut milk, almond milk, etc., all work great.

    You can replace regular yogurt with plant-based yogurts like coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt.

    You can also try using strawberry yogurt for enhanced strawberry flavor.

    Greek yogurt also works well in this recipe.

    Chia Seeds – Rich in nutrients, chia seeds add great texture to these overnight oats. These are optional, though.

    Strawberry – Choose fresh and juicy red strawberries to make these overnight oats. While selecting, see that the strawberries don’t have any black marks and soft patches.

    This recipe uses both chopped and pureed strawberries.

    If fresh strawberries are not in season, you can use frozen strawberries too. Thaw them and use them in the recipe.

    Honey – Add some sweetness with honey. Use maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.

    Sugar-free substitutes like monk fruit or stevia can also be used.

    Vanilla Extract – Enhance the flavor a little more with vanilla extract.

    How To Make Strawberry Overnight Oats

    Start by preparing the strawberries. Rinse 8-10 strawberries and chop off their top green leafy part.

    Now chop 4-5 strawberries into small pieces and puree the remaining in a blender.

    Stir together

    • ½ cup rolled oats
    • ½ cup yogurt
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 2 teaspoon chia seeds
    • ¼ cup chopped strawberries
    • ¼ cup strawberry puree
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

    All the ingredients added to a bowl.
    Mixed well.

    Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight. If you are in a hurry, you can soak the oats for at least 2-3 hours. They will not be as soft, though.

    Add more milk if the oats are thick, and mix well. Top with your favorite toppings and serve.

    Ready strawberry overnight oats.

    Topping Ideas

    Top the overnight oats with fresh fruits like ripe bananas, juicy strawberries, kiwis, mangoes, melons, raspberries, blueberries, apples, etc.

    You can also top them with almond butter, peanut butter, jam, or compote.

    Coconut flakes, grated dark chocolate, chocolate chips, granola, nuts, and seeds like flax seeds, hemp seeds, etc., are other options you can top the oats with.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make vegan strawberry overnight oats?

    To make a vegan version, use vegan mik and yogurt instead of dairy milk and yogurt. Also, use maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten the overnight oats.

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    Yes, they are very healthy. Overnight are loaded with fibers and protein. They keep you full for a long time aiding in weight loss. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals like copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, etc.

    Serving Suggestions

    If the oats look thick, add more milk and mix well again. Top them with your choice of toppings.

    You can serve these chilled or hot; I love them chilled. To serve them hot, microwave the soaked oats until warm. Top with toppings and serve.

    After soaking the oats, you can refrigerate individual portions into mason jars. Just grab a jar, and you can have breakfast on the go.

    Storage Suggestions

    These creamy overnight strawberry oats will last in the fridge for about 5 days.

    Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or transfer the leftover oats to an airtight container so the oats don’t absorb the fridge smell and taste weird.

    Use a clean and dry spoon every time you eat from the bowl.
